Freedom. 15 years. Party!![]() On October 14, 1996, Matthias Ettrich posted a message to Usenet (comp.os.linux.misc), announcing "Programmers wanted!" for a "New Project: Kool Desktop Environment (KDE)". Now, 15 years later, Matthias’s dream of a "GUI for an ENDUSER" has been fully realized. And more. Sometime in the next 2 weeks, Plasma Active One will be released, extending Matthias's plan for a "modern interface" with a "common look & feel" to a range of enduser devices from desktop to mobile. KDE has grown beyond a Linux Desktop GUI to a global community of people. But it still has the same innovative spirit and a commitment to serving users of Free and Open Source Software. This calls for celebration!We’re having a global 15th birthday party for KDE. And you’re invited! The entire KDE community can’t get together in person. So we’re partying virtually. All day, all around the world, on October 14th. Help make it a BIG EVENT:
Take a look at where KDE started and the amazing accomplishments since then. Even if you’re hardly involved, this is an inspiring milestone in a massive collaborative project that has benefited so many. October 14th—a global celebration of freedom and achievement! |

Great to know
We might try to spark some KDE magic in Cancun. :)

Ultimately Fantastic!
I first saw it somewhere about the time of KDE 1.45 with FreeBSD. Initially I was intrigued, played with it a little on and off. By KDE 2.1.x I became hooked! Been using it so long that now when I sit in front a $MS Windows machine I look at it and feel vaguely lost. I have to say it, but now I am ultimately a KDE fanatic. Keep up the great KDE!
Happy Anniversary everyone
